Problem with Shiretoko(FireFox 3.5) and Thunderbird

[harecanada]

Since I upgraded to FireFox 3.5, if I get a live link in an e-mail and try clicking on it, it doesn't work. I have to copy and paste it. Small problem but it never worked that way with previous versions of FF. Anyone know of a solution to this?

See if adding this to the "user.js" file (create it if not present) in your default Thunderbird profile directory helps (assuming The Firefox 3.5 executable is "/usr/bin/firefox")

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

You need to change Shiretoko to be the default browser.

Open Shiretoko, Click Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.

Click "Check Now" to make Shiretoko your default browser.

The newer releases of firefox usually have a lot of bugs. my suggestion would be to downgrade your firefox until the bugs are worked out.

redilyn - I tried that but the Check Now button didn't work

nikhilk - I don't have a user.js file and don't know how to make one. I do have a prefs.js file but don't know how to add to it. i copied and pasted your code in but it didn't stay in.

credobyte - I tried that and no joy... didn't work

Thanks for the attemps so far. It is much appreciated.

Just create an empty file with your favorite text editor and paste just those three lines in it and save it as user.js.

Yup, adding it to prefs.js won't work.

nikhilk - I made the file, now where do I put it?

Put it directly under your default Thunderbird profile directory (which will have name like xxxxxxxx.default).
So the path will be ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/user.js
